BLAZE

THE MISTAKE

Abria

Cheerful or not but all mornings need to be addressed properly because they are signs that you have survived another storm in this cruel but worthless world. I shouldn’t be so oppressive of this world and its people, after all, god has created everyone with the same love and compassion. But still, not everyone is as favourite and deserving as they are supposed to be.

Those creatures become cruel to the world and considered Villains. I had a heartful laugh because heroes that are praised and appreciated by everyone but on the other hand, the villains are cursed and isolated by the same people.

They are forgetting that the villain is nothing but an unsung hero who does not want anyone’s appreciation or sympathy to gain attention. In order to bring peace and balance, they take alternate paths which were opposed by the people of the world. The people are only pleased when you do something in their favour being selfless but once you show them that you are equally deserving of the s**t, they start to dislike you and later they hate you, call you names and make you suffer. Which only makes you hate this world more and there rises the curiosity to change the world from four's perspective.

When you consider that you will bend everyone at your will, you can but the way to do it isn't an easy walk. When I consider becoming the Avenger, I took an oath to my soul that I will now show mercy and pity to anyone who will be an obstacle in my way.

Not all villains got this privilege to get their voices heard. They are just misunderstood heroes who are considered bad guys. They have their own way of working and executing a different path from others. That difference is intolerable to liberals and that's why they protest and make their voice hide inside a mind.

I could have been the same if I didn't decide to come here and see a few things by myself. I could have run away the first night, if I wanted to but I stayed. The reason was simple… I wanted my revenge against these Cailleachs… especially that queen. But it's too bitter how it turned out.

I can't lay a hand on her because she is my mother. Her being my mother has nothing to do with my decision of letting my hatred go but because of the love my father had for her. All of his life, he loved only one person and that's the ice queen, Silver…

Sometimes, the odds are not in your favour and today, I felt blessed that they weren't in my favour at all.

Today, I realised that not all that glitters is gold. After having a decent conversation with my biological mother, I realised how wrong I was about her, and everyone here. Now I know it wasn't all her fault why I stand here… but I still don't trust her at all… because a few things about her bothers me… most of them were true that I heard from Carmen.

Unless I reach the root of the causes, I won't trust anyone here.

Sitting in my room, all alone, I was overwhelmed and overthinking about the incident that happened in the morning… I never wanted to hurt Igor, but it's just that I can't tolerate rudeness from anyone. Whenever someone tries to pretend superior to me and tries to make me feel inferior, this urge of getting rid of them makes me crippling against my will.

It's the voice inside my head which keeps pushing me to go for a hunt, everytime I try to lower it. The more that voice felt pressured, the more it wanted to explode. Furthermore, this voice has started to creep me out in some alternative ways. I have noticed when I am alone, this voice tries to be my company but whenever I am around a few people, I stay sane.

I wish I could find out more about this voice in my head. Because I know it's not my self-consciousness which was trying to communicate with me. The voice sounded feminine but bold. That voice holds so much power that even I wanted to submit under its command.

There was no time to sit around and do nothing when I could train myself. I threw the duvet and ran outside on the balcony. The setting sun was glorious and I was really fascinated to see it. I haven't seen a sun setting in an ocean before. And more… it appears to be magical, i can't ask for more.

The fierce and bold sun can be doused by the moon at night but with this sun, the moon has no existence… Only the sunlight makes the moon appear in the sky, or otherwise, there is no importance given to the moon.

Still, the moon is symbolism as a calm and gentle fact whereas the sun is merciless. Both of them are opposite in nature, yet both of them are incomplete without each other.

The sun painted the sky and the ocean red and the red symbolises the blood. The colour red was supposed to be my favourite but then, i no longer like it. The red blood imprints a negative image in my mind. It makes my monstrosity dwell upto the surface.

The blood of my first kill had stains on my hands, no matter how much i wash them, it won't wash off. In fact, I love to paint them again… that is what the voice in my head says… I found it scary but amazing too.

I was lost in my thoughts when someone knocked at the door. I was annoyed to have company but then, i went to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, my gaze struck with a pair of bright blue.

His grin seemed mischievous and I doubted that he wasn't here just to greet me.

"What is that with your smile?" I asked him after blinking several times.

"Nothing much.. Would you let me in now?" He pouted cutely at me and I couldn't resist inviting him inside.

He was observing the room and my gaze was on him. I was sure that he isn't here for nothing

"So, what brought you here?" I asked him without wasting time.

"Oh… nothing much… I am here to take you to have breakfast… it's time…” he pested me for a while until i agreed to go with him.

I sighed and surrendered while he dragged me to the hall for breakfast. As soon as I entered the hall, everyone was staring at me like I was a plaque. The way they stared at me, I felt that I was on fire. Dwyn held my hand and got me out of that uncomfortable stare contest. By the time we reached the dining table, I wasn't expecting her to be here. When our eyes locked, the oceans stirred.

“If she is going to dine here… I will not be staying for another minute.” Daphne got up and decided to leave.

“Aunt Daphne.. Abria is guilty of her actions and she came here to apologise… What happened in the training grounds was not her fault alone. Igor is equally at fault. They both had a heated argument which turned into a fight. We should not take this as one person’s fault…” Dwyn suggested and tried to lighten the temperature of the room.

“I don’t care and I won't accept her apology. She almost killed my son today. These kinds of brawls happen with every sibling and cousin but it doesn’t mean that you attempt to kill each other…`` She yelled loudly and other residents started to agree with her.

I was looking for the queen but she was nowhere to be seen.

“If she is going to eat here, I am sorry, I have to leave.” Daphne stood and left, as did his son and other Royals.

It was too embarrassing and I felt hurt.

“Please, don’t leave.. You don’t have to leave at all… I am the problem here so I will leave…” I said and rushed outside the hall.

I noticed Dwyn following me but the aggression over me was beyond my imagination. I have been hurt numerous times but this was absurd and I cannot accept this kind of behaviour. So I halted in my way and turned around.

Dwyn stood in front of me but all these words were disoriented and nothing made any sense. The reason was just that I don't want to hear them. Now, this madness was over me. If they consider me this bad and evil, then I will show them a good reason to hate me.

I passed by dwyn and went back to the dining hall where everyone appeared good and happy as they were earlier. Well, they will not be happy any longer. The queen hasn’t arrived so it is my card to play.

“You? Again? What’s the problem now? Didn’t you just say you wanted to leave?” a royal got up and yelled again.

“I was thinking that you already hate me but I should give you something solid to hate me more.. So here it is…” i smiled wickedly before turning myself on high and letting the flames rise at the top of the hanging chandelier.

I made a chain of my fire and broke the chandelier down to the dining table. All of them started to run but sad for them, I blocked all the exits with my telekinesis. All the screamings were fuel to my emerging powers. They all started to use their ice powers but nothing worked on my all-mighty flames. Using the chains, I grabbed a few royals and threw them around and set everything on fire.

“Nex time, you will remember not to invite me to the dining hall..” I was grinning after destroying everything.

When my flames settled, I came back to my senses. I realised what I have just done and I ran away before anyone else came in and saw what I had done. I just have dug my own grave by doing such a thing. I literally set the place on fire… s**t!!!
